Peking (Chinese) cabbage - 12 kcal;

white cabbage - 27 kcal;

Increase its energy value additives used for cooking: tomato, butter or vegetable oil, as well as reducing the volume of the finished product.

To calculate the caloric content of cabbage in a prepared dish, you can use the formula: the fresh cabbage (weight) minus 40% is multiplied by the calorie content of the product for 100 g and divided by 100.

For example, for 700 g of white cabbage:

700 g - 40% = 420 g;

420 g x 27 kcal = 11340;

11340: 100 = 113.4 kcal.
